Oklahoma – 7:00 pm 

Taylor Wein, ED (6'4", 275lbs) – I need to be clear that Wein would be drafted based on tools and talent, not technique. Is he able to engage his hands? Not really. Does he finish tackles cleanly? Not that I have seen. He is, however, a human freight train who can explode off the edge with a deceptively quick trio of first steps. He disrupts, playing the pass and the run with equal ferocity.
